4-ESS2 Earth's Systems

Make observations and/or measurements to provide evidence ofthe effects ofweathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation.[Clarification Statement: Examples of variables to test could include angle of slope in the downhill movement of water, amount of vegetation, speed of wind, relative rate of deposition, cycles of freezing and thawing of water, cycles of heating and cooling, and volume of water flow.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to a single form of weathering or erosion.]

4-ESS2-2.

Analyze and interpret datafrom maps to describepatterns ofEarth’s features.[Clarification Statement: Maps can include topographic maps of Earth’s land and ocean floor, as well as maps of the locations of mountains, continental boundaries, volcanoes, and earthquakes.]
